    I enjoyed Gather & Hem and would return for drinks in lieu of dinner. Food options pretty limited. We had the sliders which were decent. Ambiance was great.

    I was less than impressed with the price, portion size and service. I waited almost 30 min for my check after asking for it. Our server spent more time behind the bar than attending to our table. The food was okay but greatly overpriced.

    Very lackluster, It is a hotel lobby bar. Had I known that I would not have dinned there. The address leads to a set of doors that were not accessible so we had to enter through the Hotel which amplified that this was a lobby bar.

    When we first arrived they didn’t see our reservation barely acknowledged us. Then took our drink order but took 40 minutes to receive because the waitress never put the order in tried to blame it on two bartenders but everyone was drinking. They didn’t have anything on menu there for a Friday night. The best thing was the music and art. 3/10

    Food was average at best and the ambiance was non existent. Missed opportunity to create a cool adult setting.

    Everything from the food, drinks, ambiance, and service was superb!! I’m still thinking about the food there!! Portion sizes weren’t horrible but definitely on the pricey side. All the drinks were really good! I loved it!
